Shoei has a comprehensive lineup but when it comes to all out performance, the X-Twelve is the helmet that stands up and gets the job done. Bred in the world of racing and worn by riders like MotoGP champ Marc Marquez, the X-Twelve can genuinely boast impressive aerodynamics and venting. What is more surprising though than its racing credentials is the amount of civility Shoei has managed to pack into the helmet. Naturally light, the X-Twelve is also quiet and uses the same shield changing system as seen on other Shoei helmets. This means it’s easy and simple to use. Some sportbike riders like absolute performance but the X-Twelve thankfully doesn’t make you suffer for it. Both solids and race replica graphics are available so you can get the X-Twelve in a number of different styles as well.
